>> a treaty without the u.s. and china, the two countries that produce half of the world's emissions, that would not be very productive. germany's negotiator in durban warns against unrealistic expectations. >> in the end, every country must take measures that are correct and strong enough. international agreements can support those measures. but they are no substitute for political decisions in each country. >> so instead of concerted action, the attempt will depend only on the efforts of individual nations. in durban, at least, it seems certain will be no progress, while the planet continues to get warmer and politicians avoid the issue. >> so the gap between what is politically possible and what is in need it continues to grow. president barack obama came to power with an ambitious environmental agenda. he is hamstrung now by a

republican-dominated house of representatives. china insists it is trying to curb greenhouse gas emissions, but it argues per-capita its emissions are far lower than industrialized countries. well, you see, finding a way that is fair and just is not easy here. if governments cannot reach agreement, then it may have to have been beyond the political realm. here is more. ♪ >> the battle against climate change in south america. some 5.5 million people lived in colombia's second city. traffic congestion is a neighbor -- major problem here, and it produces huge quantities of carbon dioxide. in the last five years, the city has addressed both problems with a system of cable cars. metro cable, that brings commuters from the city's outskirts into the center. it saves an estimated 20,000 tons of co2 emissions annually.
